5 out of 5 stars Excellent hits album of Steely Dan!!.......2007-03-21

What a wonderful album this is!! This Greatest Hits album of Steely Dan is the one to own. My mother used to have it on LP back in the day, but now I have it on LP, tape and CD. This album was originally released as a 2 record set with a gatefold cover when it first hit the stores in 1978. The regular cassette of this title came out some years later. The CD of this album is an import (from Canada), but it's still the same, retains the cover art and the inside photo of the two guys of Steely Dan with an older man playing a piano in the background. I like most of the songs on this album, and this group is fun to listen to. They are not heavy metal and their music is not the type that will give you a headache. Very mellow and groovy, indeed. For anyone who is just getting acquainted with the oldies and this group, in general, this album is a good start. It has 18 songs on here so there is a generous portion of their material here. And, with having this album on CD, you don't have to change from one record to the other in the way you had to with the 2 LP set back in the day. Get this title while you can!! Don't be scared away by the price though; I think in my own opinion that imported versions of products are slightly more costly than domestic ones. If this title on CD was a domestic release, we would only pay between 10-15 dollars for it, in general. Let Steely Dan put you in the groove!!!

4 out of 5 stars Second-best Dan comp.......2005-09-01

At first glance, you may think, "Wow! Eighteen tracks! This is pretty good!" It is, actually, and it's a lot better than Decade of Dan. However, the problems set in quickly. For instance, the compilation makers obviously don't know there are more good songs on CBT than Do It Again and Reelin' in the Years! At least Dirty Work, if not Kings, should be included. The Countdown to Ecstasy material's good, but what about Boston Rag and Your Gold Teeth? The Pretzel Logic material is strong, other than the absence of Monkey In Your Soul. Any World would've been welcome, but the Katy Lied selections are good. But what about Don't Take Me Alive, from Royal Scam? How about Royal Scam's title track? Thankfully, the selections are strong. Peg...I don't really like Peg, I'm obviously the only Danfan who thinks that way, but oh well. Josie's good, but I could've swapped both for Deacon Blues and Home At Last myself.
This was released a bit before Gaucho, which explains the lack of superb tracks Hey Nineteen and Babylon Sisters. At least they skipped Time out of Mind.
So, do you get this, Decade of Dan or Show Biz Kids? It's all about the money. If you don't want to, or can't, spend much, Decade of Dan should be where you go. If you have a bit more money but still are on a tight budget, here. If you've got a lot of cash, lend me some and check out Show Biz Kids. You could also cheat and buy Citizen Steely Dan, but that costs a small fortune. You could also buy the albums, particularly their first five (Can't Buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, Royal Scam), if you really wanted to go deep.

3 out of 5 stars c'mon... get the anthology, or the albums.......2004-12-14

I know, you're still picturing that big groovy 2-record set you had back in the 70's, with the drink rings on it and the slightly pungent smell when the gatefold was opened...

But face it - those days are over. Do you see any records for sale on Amazon? No. Don't live in the past. If you have to use cd's (well, at least if you're stuck shopping here), make sure you're taking advantage of what they have to offer. There's a pretty stellar 2 disc set titled _Show-Biz Kids_ that only costs a few bucks more than this vaguely overpriced relic, and sounds a whole lot better. Not to mention that it covers a lot more of the group's musical achievements. And if you're a casual fan, thinking that might be more than you'd want to own, trust me - the odds are far greater of the purchase leading to further acquisitions than of it feeling like overkill. The music is just that good. Or if you're really ready to take me at my word, you *could* just start buying the albums... _Pretzel Logic_ and _Aja_ are real winners... or start anywhere, really...

4 out of 5 stars My First Taste of Genius!.......2004-09-07

As a teenager in the 80's, I was familiar with several Steely Dan songs from the radio, but this LP was the first thing of theirs I bought, and it sold me for life. Objectively, this is a solid collection of their many hits and styles, but subjectively, this made me want to go out and buy every one of their albums, which I now have on CD. Their songs just might hold up better than other band I know (including Rush, my absolute favorite band). All I can say is that I will never get tired of listening to this music, since it was obviously built to last!!!

4 out of 5 stars Adequate.......2004-06-21

This is an adequate compilation of the "radio hits". The albums give a more complete picture of the group and should be purchased first. However, this one has "Here at the Western World", which made its initial appearance here. "Greatest Hits" is good for the car. It misses quite a few key tracks, like "FM", "King of the World", "Boston Rag", "Don't Take Me Alive", "Deacon Blues", and anything from "Gaucho" (this preceded "Gaucho" by two years). "Greatest Hits" and the companion "Gold" are good and should be purchased in tandem. I would recommend any of the actual studio albums and the "Complete Steely Dan" box set, with every one of the songs from the first era, 72-80. This will suffice for casual fans and those addicted to the FM dial. Radio programmers will also love this for its conciseness. I would not recommend this to Dan fanatics, though. Two more thoughts: "Chain Lightning" and "Dirty Work" should have been here, and I'd like to see an "official" live SD release from the early 70's ("Record Plant" is only available in bootleg form, but is a must- buy).

    Forget the questionable title--did the survivors actually approve it?--and dig Innyrds' track listing, which sums up a lot about why so many of us still love this bunch of Southern tough guys. Not only was their triple-guitar howl one of the definitive sounds of the whole post-Allmans movement, singer Ronnie Van Zant put his smarts--and his intelligence--to work on lyrics like "Saturday Night Special" (an anti-gun screed), "Workin' for MCA" (a not-grinning shot at the band's record label), and "That Smell" (a warning about his own excesses). And what's that other song called? Oh yeah, "Free Bird." --Rickey Wright

    5 out of 5 stars The Pinnacle Of Southern Rock.......2007-07-05

    If you were born and raised in the South like me, you probably have a special place in your heart for at least one of the tunes on "Skynyrd's Innyrds." Sure, this is far from the best compilation of tunes from the greatest Southern Rock band around, but each and every song on here is worth five stars by itself. From the legendary "Freebird" to jabs at the record label on "Workin' For MCA," to songs of warning like "That Smell," Skynyrd has a little something for everybody. "Saturday Night Special," "Call Me The Breeze" and "Gimme Three Steps" are just a few more of the wonderful tunes you can find on here. "Sweet Home Alabama," which reminds Mr. Young that he ain't needed around anyhow, is pure South. Skynyrd was a rebellious band for a rebellious people, and you really have to be from the South to get them completely.

    Anybody who claims to know anything about Southern Rock needs this album. It didn't begin (nor did it end) with Lynyrd Skynyrd, but they are definitely one of the most important bands to ever grace the stage, no matter what genre. I highly recommend this album. It's the perfect "beginner's set" for anyone interested in Southern Rock.

    1 out of 5 stars Where are the good Ones?.......2004-08-26

    What rocket scientists came up with this poor excuse for a Best of... Album? Considering that Skynyrd only produced a couple of studio albums it is strange that several of their best songs are not included. The most glaring omission is "Tuesdays gone", they also should have had "Simple Man", "Curtis Loew", and "the Needle and the Spoon". These songs are much better than some of the songs that were included. I hate to give only one star to an album by A great band like this, but it is just not what I am looking for in a Greatest Hits album

    5 out of 5 stars SOUTHERN COMFORT.......1999-04-15

    JUST A TASTE OF ONE OF ROCK'S GREATEST BANDS.SKYNARD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF WITH EMOTIONAL AND CLASSIC ROCK N ROLL TUNES THAT WILL OUTLAST YOUR STEREO.A MUST FOR EVERYONE THAT LISTENS TO MUSIC.

    5 out of 5 stars They built this city in green sun, on blue earth........2003-01-18

    My intrigue for (what was originally) the Jefferson Airplane goes back to the late 60s. "Somebody To Love" was the song and "Surrealistic Pillow" was the album that galvanized me. The Airplane and its subsequent incarnations, which flew under the Jefferson Starship (even, temporarily, "Starship Jefferson") and Starship banners, and which experienced a somewhat constant change in personnel to go with their ever growing and maturing, creative direction, always had something--or someone--magical to offer its devotees. The tirelessly intricate, even ornately mindblowing, bleeding intensity from the lead guitar finessing of Jorma Kaukonen and later Craig Chaquico was a hallmark of their sound. (Both were savagely underrated and therefore often absent from pundits' lists of greatest ever guitarists.) Jack Casady was a masterful, but never pretentious, bass player--along the line of a Chris Hillman. He was later replaced by ex-Quicksilver Messenger Service great, David Freiberg. The scintillating vocals of founder Marty Balin and Grace Slick, especially on ballads was, to say the very least, achingly romantic and profoundly sensuous. The former was also a stellar songwriter, in the same league as Gene Clark, Justin Hayward and Michael Brown. The latter, a former fashion ingenue, was dextrous with many instruments and proficient at composing, too. Yes, when the "San Franciscan Valkyrie" and the boys melded, even though the harmonies were arranged, at times, deliberately apart, it was crooning or roaring reaching a new dimension in rock. Later on, Mickey Thomas, who possessed marvelous, anthem-rock like pipes, would be the one to pour out, so profusely, his boyish hurts over the mic. Then there was the late Papa John Creach's demonic and soulful fiddling, tantalizing us like a rock Paganini. Certainly no one forgets Canadian born Skip Spence, the iconoclastic and ephemeral first drummer and later founder of the seminal group, Moby Grape. His replacement, Spencer Dryden, would later find notoriety with former Byrds bassist Skip Battin in Jerry Garcia & company's New Riders Of The Purple Sage. However, it was John Barbata, earlier with the Turtles and later with CSN, who I admired most banging on the skins, with his flamboyant twirling. Not to forget well travelled drummer Aynsley Dunbar, who did stints with fellow 'Friscans Journey, as well as Frank Zappa, with and without the Mothers of Invention. One of the doyens, Paul Kantner (who not long ago attempted to revive, again, the Jefferson Airplane), and many other luminaries flying with the Airship (an omnibus term I will call all developments of the group) had unique talents.

    Their oeuvre encapsulated elements that were diverse, if not, as far as mind-expansion was concerned, divine, though nothing was ever too sacred--whether theological or political--to assail or desecrate. This was because they took it upon themselves to expose the debased and fallen "Empire"--anything they found hypocritical in the establishment or society at large--by announcing this through the "Revolution," of their music. Sound effects often reflected their themes, to complement dazzling light shows at their concerts. They were, after all, psychedelic and conquered the audiences at the Fillmore, Monterey, Woodstock, Altamont and elsewhere with their sound. Space travel, mixed with doses of Orientalia, jazzed up with hallucinogenic blues, through synthesizers--whatever--maintained an ever evolving and pleasing concoction. Strangely enough, the Airship, like their legendary California cousins, the Byrds, started out as folk-rockers.

    But what of this "Greatest Hits" collection? Like so many other artists from the 60s, 70s and 80s, the work of the Airship has been obsessively repackaged by avaricious record company executives. So, what compilation does the discerning ear sagaciously select? Well, I bought most of their original, early albums and some of the latter-day releases, as well as curios by offshoots of the Mother Ship, from the late 60s to the mid 70s and decided on the compilation route in the late 80s. However, none of the single or double vinyl albums, single CDs or CD box sets covered all periods of the group extensively. With a prodigious band like the Airship it just was not feasible to include everyone's favourite number. Please keep in mind that many of the latter day Airship albums, after the world smash "Red Octopus," were not so consistent. (The same fate befell the Moodies after "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.") And I always thought that the cynosure, Grace Slick, played a lesser role in the twilight years of the Ship. Any anthology dedicated to the Airship should therefore pay heed to these factors. In any event, the works in this "Greatest Hits" package were either hits, sides from singles or choice album cuts, chronologically culled from their three (appropriately leaning less heavily on the second, and less still on the third--as they progressively got more commercial) eras. The first seventeen tracks are by the Jefferson Airplane, 1966-1972; the next twelve tracks by the Jefferson Starship, 1975-1984; and the last six tracks are by the Starship, 1985-1989. The pieces I personally relished the most from all of the aforementioned line-ups are, respectively: "Comin' Back To Me," "Good Shepherd," "Caroline," "Miracles," "We Built This City" and "Sara." This CD is worth its price for these songs alone because they all possess memorable hooks. The sometimes arcane, but provocative doggerel is there too. What masterpieces by the Airship are missing from this CD? There are just too many to enumerate, but I would say the song I revere more than any other by them, is the most chillingly exquisite stentorian Gracie has ever vocalized: David Crosby's "Triad" (which the Byrds refused to release at the time, believing it to be too racy, remember?)

    All in all, this is a must have for not just the uninitiated, but the grateful aficionados, as well. The Jefferson Airplane/Starship is the quintessential band to soar out of San Francisco (my apologies to Chocolate Watch Band fans and Deadheads). Get this treasure trove, "Greatest Hits," now because they built this city "in green sun, on blue earth."

    From their beginnings as the patron saints of Britain's mod, mod, mod, mod world, to their sophisticated compositions and musical virtuosity, The Who remain one of the greatest rock bands. Ever. With so many songs that helped redefine the very genre that they were a part of, it's annoying that Who's Greatest Hits only dabbles in The Who's catalog, ignoring for instance, the beautiful tension of hits like "I Can See for Miles" or the exhilarating rush of genius at the beginning of "Baba O'Riley." The collection does provide a decent array of the band's growth from "Substitute" and their signature "My Generation," through "Pinball Wizard," "Won't Get Fooled Again," and, eventually, "Love Reign O'er Me." As a brief overview, Who's Greatest Hits is initially satisfying, but like The Who themselves, it leaves the listener wishing for more. --Steve Gdula

    3 out of 5 stars A Solid Overview of the Keith Moon Period.......2006-04-19

    When it comes to classic rock, who does it better than The Who? Since 1965 they have made some of the finest music out there. This overview isn't your best bet if you want a COMPLETE review of The Who's career, but it's pretty good if you want a slightly different compilation of their music (all featuring Keith Moon on drums).

    Positives:
    Several "best of" standards, including Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again, Squeeze Box, Love Reign O'er Me and many others are here.
    -UNDERRATED GEMS ARE HERE TOO! The Relay, The Seeker, and My Wife.
    -SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT!

    Negatives:
    Where is Baba O'Riley, The Kids Are Alright, Join Together, I'm Free, Slip Kid, I Can See For Miles and Behind Blue Eyes? This purports to be a comprehensive collection of The Who's highlights; they at least should have tried to cover the bases and fill up the disc - ONLY 13 SONGS on this collection!!!???? Think of how much more material could be on here.
    -NOTHING FROM LIVE AT LEEDS! Summertime Blues isn't here, which really stinks. That's a great song.

    If you want a quick and dirty summary of Keith Moon-era songs with a few twists, then this is a nice compilation and probably worth the investment. But, if you want a more comprehensive single disc overview, buy "Who's Better Who's Best" and/or "Then And Now!: 1964-2004." The latter of these compilations features the band's first new studio recordings in 22 years.

    2 out of 5 stars Yep, another incomplete Who comp.......2006-04-05

    It's offical: there are too many Who compilations on the market. Some work (Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy, The Ultimate Collection), some don't (the Millennium Collection, My Generation). This one simply doesn't. Why? Read on...
    1. Some of the bare essentials (Baba O'Riley, You Better You Bet, Behind Blue Eyes, Boris the Spider, I Can't Explain, The Real Me, Call Me Lightning, Long Live Rock, I Can See For Miles) are missing.
    2. Also missing are the smorgasboard of great album tracks the Who put out. I'm thinking Go to the Mirror Boy, 1921, the Acid Queen, The Song Is Over, Gettin' In Tune, Going Mobile, Doctor Jimmy and the Punk and the Godfather and Slip Kid.
    3. The record companies insist on putting Who Are You on every who collection including this one. Which is great, except for the song isn't much.
    4. They try to cover the Who's twenty years of making studio albums in thirteen tracks. Genius, Watson!
    Though it's hard to make a Who collection without any good moments, The Ultimate Collection is the way to go if you want to experience Whostory 101.

    2 out of 5 stars Pretty crazy.......2005-11-15

    A couple of good songs but the Beatles are far better I mean much better vocals harmony Guitars everything. Also the who were just plane out out of there mind. GodBless

    3 out of 5 stars Good but not Complete.......2005-04-08

    Don't get me wrong I love The Who. The fact is they have so many great songs that it's not possible for ANY of their greatest hits albums to have every song you would have wanted. This album is just a cheap shot. Only 13 songs? No linar notes? No bonus bonus material of any kind? They could have done a better job than this. On the other hand, this is much better than the who millenium collection. I recomend this to anyone just getting into the who and wanting an introduction. One good thing about this album is that it will leave you wanting more...and trust me their is much much more to the who. For serious fans I recomend the two disc ultimate who collection.

    3 out of 5 stars Nothing Special.......2004-10-01

    I don't buy greatest hits albums. If I like the artist I will get all of their CDs instead of a greatest hits (unless I'm a huge fan of that artist and I want to get the greatest hits album for an extra song or something). I got the Nirvana greatest hits CD as a gift and I found this one lying around in a droor somewhere. Usually in a greatest hits CD I look for something special, a bonus DVD, a cool stroy in the booklet etc... This had nothing but the songs.

    While The Who isn't my favourite band, I do like them. I wouldn't have bought this and well, I didn't like Isaid earlier I found it lying around in my house (I guess it was my ddad's). Other than a great lie-up of songs this collection featured no special stuff. If you open the booklet there is a track list and another flag-thing. The Nirvana greatest hits had a cool inspiring story in the booklet. So while I enjoy listeneing to the songs, its really nothing specail and I'll probably just end up buying the rest of "The Who" anywho!

    5 out of 5 stars REAL MUSIC !.......2006-05-11

    Bad English was a band comprised of REAL musicians who knew REAL music. The songs on this CD collection are some of their best, but actually, EVERY song from their two studio albums could be included here! They simply never recorded any filler tunes. And contrary to the "pruduct description", Bad English WAS NOT a hair metal band! Of course, to today's limited musical intelligence ANYBODY who had ANY hair at all is now catagorized as "hair metal". Get this CD and discover what REAL music sounded like before the current pathetic era of the musical dark ages began.

    Brilliant songs, unreal musicans, Waite's vocals = HEAVEN! It would have been nice to put the 2 albums together in their entirity.

    4 out of 5 stars Good selection of Songs from this Danish Import.......2005-03-05

    The CD has a great selection of songs from the band's heyday, but no notes inside this CD brings it down--there are pictures but no names of the players and no information on each song-what album it came from or whatever--no information on the band either. Usually with a greatest hits album there is some key information the band making the album a better buy. Great sound however as imports usually sound great. Buy this if you are not interested in the makeup of the band or other information.

    3 out of 5 stars CD HAS 2 GREAT SONGS FROM THE LATE 80s.......2005-01-28

    If you think, like I do, that some of the greatest american songs come from the period 1987-1992, this is an album you must have. The songs WHEN I SEE YOU SMILE and PRICE OF LOVE are really wonderful. I live in Spain and those songs bring me great memories from the years when the show AMERICAN TOP 40 was heard in Spain, and those songs were very popular here. Thanks for giving me the chance to write here.

    5 out of 5 stars Misses too many songs to be a true "greatest" collection.......2006-12-18

    Elton John has been a force in music for more than 30 years. He has an incredible amount of talent, both as an author of music, and as a performer. This collection attempts to pull together some of the best of Elton's work from his career, beginning with the "Elton John" album and ending with "Songs from the West Coast."

    Nearly every song on this CD is musically good to excellent. Most of these songs were hits. As a sampler of Elton's music, this collection is a very good start. However, this CD does have a few flaws. The principal flaw is that while the CD purports to be Elton John's greatest hits, it does miss quite a few hits. The missing songs that stood out most noticeably to me are "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Pinball Wizard". However, there are other songs that were top 10 that were missed as well. It is impossible to represent Elton's greatest hits with only two CDs, and that is the main flaw of this collection.

    The difficulty with most "greatest hits" collections is choosing the songs. Regardless of how good a job you do, there will be a fan who thinks a song was neglected. Conversely, there will be other fans that think a song on the collection should have been excluded. Rather than complain about what was or wasn't on this collection, the focus should be on this collection alone. At this time, this collection is the best single representation of Elton over the bulk of his career. For the songs that were missed from this collection, you can add "Rare Masters" and "Love Songs", which pick up a lot more of Elton's early career and fills in more of Elton's best.

    Note that there are several versions of this collection. The U.S. version has "Levon" and "Blessed." This version replaces those songs with "Blue Eyes" and "Made in England." I like all four songs, but choices have to be made to keep this collection to two CD's.

    With more than 40 albums, comprising hundreds of songs, choosing the 34 best is an absolutely terrible job. Similar to those people who would have added other songs, or subtracted some of those included, I too would have done something similar. However, we would never have agreed on the best. So take this CD as the best collection available to sample Elton's career. From that viewpoint, this CD rates 5 stars. Then you can add the other CDs I mentioned, and in the case of the classic albums and a few others, add original albums as well. We live in an imperfect world, thus a less than perfect collection of Elton's career is better than not having this collection at all.

    5 out of 5 stars At last!!!.......2006-09-14

    If you want to, have to, neeed to know all things Thin Lizzy, then this is the compilation for you!!! Unlike its american counterparts, "Greatest Hits" is a truly career spannig compilation of...Thin Lizzy...? Yes, and no. It includes all the Thin Lizzy material that you might want, but it is more than a Thin Lizzy compilation...It is a Phil Lynott anthology. Picture Jimmy Hendrix being born in Ireland and playing bass instead of guitar...and you might have some idea of what Phil was all about.

    Like Jimmy's own band, Thin Lizzy started as a power trio, with Phil handling bass and vocals, Brian Downey on drums and Eric Bell on guitar. This lineup was shortlived and, for the most part, unsuccesful. But then, Lizzy reinvented themselves: they added TWO lead guitar players, who would essentially create the dual, dueling guitar attack thas was to become the standard for countless hard rock/heavy metal bands to come. The first guitar duo was formed by Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham (the latter, along with founders Lynott and Downey, would remain in the band until the end), and this is still considered by most fans and critics to be Lizzy's most prolific lineup.

    Many guitar players would come and go into the band over the years to complement the Lynott-Downey-Gorham axis, including Gary Moore, Snowy White and John Sykes, each bringing something of their own, but without altering the essential chemistry of the band, which rested mostly upon Phil's inspired, working class songwriting and delivery. So yes, this compilation encompasses all of those different incarnations of the band and the music that they made, but it also includes some of Phil's solo work and collaborations, making it a true Phil Lynott retrospective.

    After all, Phil WAS Thin Lizzy, so it is only fitting that this compilation includes some of his work outside of the band, even if some of it might not appeal to hard rock fans. Indeed, tunes like "Yellow Pearl", "Dear miss lonely hearts" and "King's Call" might raise an eyebrow or two, but songs such as "Out in the fields" and "Parisienne Walkways" (both being collaborations with Gary Moore, and some of Phil's last recordings) are welcome additions.

    From Lizzy's material, you get all the classics, including "Black Rose" (sorry, Gary Moore freaks, not my fav tune...), "Jailbreak", "Waiting for an Alibi", "Rosalie", and tracks from later Lizzy albums, such as "trouble boys", "Cold Sweat", "Hollywood (Down on your luck)", "Sun goes down", "Renegade", "Thunder & Lightning", etc. This one has EVERYTHING!!!

    Now, one last thing: if you are looking just for a taste of Lizzy, I recommend you to stick with the single disc "Dedication". On the other hand, if you are already familiar with Lizzy's (and Phil's) work and want to have the best of it, this compilation is clearly the way to go!!! The choice is yours, but you CAN'T POSSIBLY go wrong with this one.

    5 out of 5 stars This is the best CD remastering job yet...buy this now!!!.......2006-08-22

    If you're a diehard Thin Lizzy/Phil Lynott fan who's been waiting for the ultimate CD remastering of the Thin Lizzy classics, this is the compilation to get. Spend the money, or try to find it used. I've been listening to this band and some of these tracks for over thirty years, and after listening to this remastering job, it's almost like I'm hearing some of these tracks for the first time. The remastering engineer should get a Grammy nomination. I'm not exaggerating...buy this now, end of story.

    5 out of 5 stars pub-rock band they weren't .......2006-02-13

    when his cd was released i was buying the NME weekly and i love to read the album reviews section because the bunch of college
    non-descipt writers always gave bad reviews too famous bands and great reviews to un-known talentless band and thin lizzy were in the firin' line that week as the reviewer stated that "thin lizzy were great for the pub rock circuit but as a proper rock band with balls that were not" yes i value that worthless opipion they gave but how the heck could anyone say that thin lizzy were a pub rock band, they path the way for legions of bands whom have taken the odd solo and unique bass playing of the late great phil lynott
    thin lizzy were up with led zeppelin as a stadium filling
    putting on a frenzied break out rockin' abd roll beer swiggin'
    hell bent of makin' the great nod through the whole damn way
    that's what thin lizzy were too me and always will be

    thin lizzy the boys never left the town

    5 out of 5 stars Kick ass 70's rock with emotion and soul!!.......2005-10-27

    If you love Thin Lizzy as I do, you will enjoy this greatest hits package. Phil and the boys certainly had something that the music world really never took notice of and that's a crying same as these guys should have been way bigger than they were.

    Thin Lizzy were a diverse band in many ways and this set list will give you some of that. The examples on here are great as Chinatown is a frikin' killer tune, (man I love those opening riffs) as is Sarah, but both are worlds apart as far as what they represent goes. From kick ass killer rock tunes to slower more romantic tunes (if I can use that term to describe how great these guys were?) are here. The song selection is very good with most if not all of the truly great Thin Lizzy offerings here. I do wish that Warriors was here though as that song is amazing!!

    Theirs no doubting that Thin Lizzy deserves to be recognized as a truly great band that gave us a lot in a short period of time.

    The lives cuts are cool and supposedly rare? The booklet/packaging is excellent stuff as it gives you some nice liner notes or thoughts as to what made this band tick. Overall a worth wile investment.

    Phil knew how to write a good song and is missed!!

    5 out of 5 stars Hard-rocking Irish group of the seventies.......2005-04-11

    Ireland seemed an unlikely place from which a group like Thin Lizzy would emerge - we all had an image of Irish music based on traditional folk and country music. Van Morrison (and his short-lived group Them) had ventured from the Emerald Isle into rock music and made a significant impact, but he seemed to be a one-off. Thin Lizzy changed all that, firmly establishing Irish rock music as a significant force . The Boomtown rats (with Bob Geldof), U2 (with Bono), the Undertones (with Feargal Sharkey), the Cranberries and many other Irish groups have followed Thin Lizzy in making a major impact on the world rock music scene.

    Thin Lizzy first made an impact with a hard-rocking version of a traditional Irish folk song, Whiskey in the jar - it made the UK top ten in 1973. If you've heard the song performed in a more traditional style (perhaps by the Dubliners, who typify the traditional image of Irish music), the cover by Thin Lizzy may come as a bit of a shock, but the song sounds great whether performed in a traditional way or by Thin Lizzy. However, that track wasn't really typical of their music. Thereafter, Thin Lizzy abandoned their Irish heritage altogether and focused exclusively on rocking hard but it took a while for them to establish their career.

    Three years after their first hit, Thin Lizzy returned to the UK top ten with The boys are back in town, which is much more typical of their sound and was the first of fifteen UK hit singles that Thin Lizzy had between 1976 and 1983, during which time they also made the UK singles chart with an EP. Only two further hits after The boys are back in town (Waiting for an alibi, Killer on the loose) made the UK top ten but several others made the UK top twenty including Don't believe a word, Dancing in the moonlight and Do anything you want.

    The first CD of this compilation begins with those fifteen UK hit singles between 1976 and 1983, together with their 1991 hit (Dedication) ant three other tracks. The second CD begins with Whiskey in the jar. The remainder of the second CD contains selected album tracks and some solo recordings by Phil Lynott. Overall, the second CD is not quite up to the quality of the first but it's not far behind.

    This is the best Thin Lizzy collection out there. If you like hard rocking music, you'll love this.

    1 out of 5 stars I will burn my own compilation!.......2005-07-13

    Three discs and too many fillers! Few material from two of the best (and underrated) Toto's releases: Hydra and Turn Back. It's symptomatic that there isn't a fair "greatest hits" from Toto out there. You better burn your own compilation, so I will burn mine.
    I would put the best songs in two discs:

    Disc One

    1. Child's Anthem
    2. I'll Supply The Love
    3. Hold The Line
    4. Georgy Porgy
    5. St. George And The Dragon
    6. 99
    7. All Us Boys
    8. Hydra
    9. Goodbye Elenore
    10. Live For Today
    11. Turn Back
    12. If It's The Last Night
    13. Africa
    14. Rosanna
    15. I Won't Hold You Back

    Disc Two

    1. Make Believe
    2. Stranger In Town
    3. Holyanna
    4. I'll Be Over You
    5. Pamela
    6. Don't Chain My Heart
    7. 2 Hearts
    8. Kingdom Of Desire
    9. Jake To The Bone
    10. I Will Remember
    11. Gift Of Faith
    12. Dave's Gone Skiing
    13. The Turning Point
    14. Mindfields
    15. After You've Gone

    5 out of 5 stars This is it...........2005-01-06

    Hey for the price, you get all the hits and Live too. This is a great band if you like 80s and 90s rock. Great vocals (from 3 different lead singers) and these musicians...ROCK! A highly recommended compilation of this great band.

    4 out of 5 stars the complete toto.......2004-06-27

    this is the most acurate collection of hits and odds of toto right now from the olympics of 1984 tune to the dune and the great b side in 'a' word my only complain is the booklet cause is write in german that's the reason of the 4 stars but if got nothing of toto this is the collection you have to buy and if you got all of toto like me you got to have this anyway!, also great packing...
